Chapter 732 Successor to the Patriarch
The Qin family mansion was filled with a solemn atmosphere of mourning.
Fang Yu was like a bystander, witnessing Qin Wudao's descendants crying bitterly. Qin Wudao's body was placed in a coffin, and then the coffin was placed in the mourning hall for people to admire his remains.
Judging from the degree of sadness of the Qin family, Qin Wudao's descendants were filial.
Of course, there must be fake performances, but Fang Yu did not observe carefully because it was meaningless.
After everything was done after Qin Wudao's death, the core members of the Qin family were invited to a room by the lawyer hired by Qin Wudao.
In the room, there were a total of fourteen people, including the lawyer and Fang Yu.
Qin Wudao's eldest son Qin Changlong, his wife Liang Huarong, the couple had two sons and a daughter. They were Qin Wei, Qin Zhen, and Qin Xiaolu.
The second son Qin Weichao, his wife Cao Xue, the couple had only one daughter, Qin Yimo.
The third son Qin Jianjun, his wife He Hong, the couple had only one son, Qin Lang.
The fourth son is Qin Wudao's adopted son, named Qin Bin, who has not yet married and had children.
These people are the core members of the Qin family.
Fang Yu has met most of them, but he does not know the relationship between them.
"Everyone is here. Next, I will read out Mr. Qin's will. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask questions..." The lawyer said with a document in his hand.
"Wait!"
The lawyer was interrupted before he finished speaking.
The person who spoke was Qin Xiaolu.
She was the youngest person in the room. She looked only in her early twenties. She was dressed very fashionably and had makeup on her face. It was obvious that she was called back urgently when she went out to play.
At this time, she pointed at Fang Yu and asked, "Who is this person? How can he stand here?"
"He is Fang Yu, Mr. Fang, and he is also the witness designated by Mr. Qin to read out the will." The lawyer smiled.
"Fang Yu!? I've never heard of his name! Besides, how can he, an outsider, get involved in such an important matter within our family?" Qin Xiaolu frowned and said unhappily.
Qin Xiaolu's two brothers, Qin Wei and Qin Zhen, also stared at Fang Yu with doubts on their faces.
They had never seen Fang Yu, and since they rarely communicated with Qin Wudao, they had never heard of the name Fang Yu.
"Mr. Fang is Grandpa's friend." Qin Lang said.
Qin Xiaolu looked at Qin Lang and frowned, "Friend? Cousin, don't talk nonsense, this guy doesn't look older than me, how can he be Grandpa's friend?"
"Shut up, your grandfather asked him to be a witness to the will, so he has the qualifications!" At this time, Qin Xiaolu's father, Qin Changlong, said in a deep voice.
Seeing his father speak, Qin Xiaolu shut up, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Fang Yu was still full of suspicion and unkindness.
Fang Yu didn't react much.
It was normal that the children present didn't recognize him. After all, the last time Fang Yu came to the Qin family, these children were either not born or were still ignorant.
However, Qin Wudao's three sons and wives, as well as his adopted son Qin Bin, had actually seen Fang Yu.
But none of these people took the initiative to greet Fang Yu, as if they didn't know Fang Yu.
"Then, I will start reading the contents of Mr. Qin's will." The lawyer glanced at everyone and said.
No one raised any objections.
"The first article of Mr. Qin's will is about the position of the head of the Qin family." The lawyer read out.
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Qin Changlong and his wife stood straight, Qin Jianjun and his wife stared at the lawyer, and Qin Bin lowered his head.
The only one who didn't show much was Qin Yimo's family. They all lowered their heads and were still immersed in the sadness of Qin Wudao's death.
Fang Yu saw the expressions of these people.
"The position of the head of the family will be inherited by Miss Qin Yimo." The lawyer continued to read.
Hearing this, everyone in the room except Fang Yu and the lawyer changed their faces.
Qin Yimo inherited the position of the head of the family! ?
This is equivalent to skipping a generation directly!
The eldest son Qin Changlong, the second son Qin Weichao, the third son Qin Jianjun, and the adopted son Qin Bin!
These four Mesozoic generations were just ignored?
The head of the family was actually inherited by Qin Yimo?
Not only young, but also a girl!
How could Qin Wudao make such an arrangement! ?
"Lawyer Chen, are you sure you didn't read it wrong?" Qin Changlong stared at Lawyer Chen and asked in a deep voice.
Lawyer Chen raised his head, pushed his glasses, and said: "This is what Mr. Qin meant, and it is also the true content of the will, and it has not been changed at all."
"This is impossible! How could grandpa pass the position of the head of the family to her?" Qin Xiaolu said with an ugly face.
Others also looked at Lawyer Chen with disbelief.
Lawyer Chen did not change his face, turned the document in his hand over, and presented it to everyone.
"If you don't believe it, you can come forward and see that the signature above is Mr. Qin's autograph. In addition, I have a video recording of Mr. Qin making his will." Lawyer Chen said, "If you need it, I can play that video now."
"Play it! You must play it!" Qin Xiaolu said loudly.
"Okay." Lawyer Chen nodded, turned around, and took out a laptop from his briefcase.
When Lawyer Chen was operating the computer, everyone present had different expressions.
Qin Xiaolu, Qin Wei, and Qin Zhen looked at Qin Yimo with indignation.
Qin Changlong and his wife, as well as Qin Jianjun and his wife, looked at Qin Weichao and his wife with complicated eyes.
Qin Lang looked at Qin Yimo with a surprised smile on his face.
Only Qin Bin lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Fang Yu looked at Qin Bin and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Before Qin Wudao died, he said that the Qin family not only had enemies outside, but also had problems inside.
If there were problems inside, it was very likely that these children had problems.
Otherwise, Qin Wudao would not have directly passed the position of the head of the family to Qin Yimo.
This approach would undoubtedly put Qin Yimo on the fire, causing her to suffer a lot of doubts and targeting, which Qin Wudao could not have thought of.
But he knew the consequences, but he still had to do it, and there must be his reasons.
"Before Xiao Qin passed away, either he didn't have the energy to explain it to me clearly, or he hadn't figured out which specific place and which person had problems inside... He asked me to be a witness, on the one hand to keep an eye on Qin Yimo. On the other hand, it should be to give me the opportunity to observe this group of people up close." Fang Yu thought.
Lawyer Chen quickly opened the video and showed the laptop screen to everyone.
In the video, Qin Wudao was lying on the bed.
As soon as they saw this old face, Qin Yimo and Qin Lang couldn't help but their eyes were red.
The other three young people, Qin Wei, Qin Zhen and Qin Xiaolu, did not change their expressions and did not show any sadness.
"After I die, the position of the head of the family... will be passed to Yimo." Qin Wudao said in the video.
Although his voice was low and hoarse, his words were clear.
"This is the video footage of Mr. Qin making this will. Do you have any questions?" Lawyer Chen took back the laptop and asked.
After watching the video, no one spoke again.
But at this time, their expressions were very interesting.
The faces of the two couples Qin Changlong and Qin Jianjun were extremely ugly.
And the Qin Weichao and his wife looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
They thought that their family had no chance at all.
But they didn't expect that the reality was so unexpected.
Qin Wudao actually passed the position of the head of the family to Qin Yimo!
At this time, Qin Bin still lowered his head and his expression could not be seen.
But Fang Yu noticed that his right hand was clenched into a fist.
As the successor of the family head, Qin Yimo did not have any joy on her face at this time.
She raised her head, looked at Lawyer Chen, and said, "Lawyer Chen, continue to read the rest of the content."
"Okay, then I will continue." Lawyer Chen nodded.
Then, in a weird atmosphere, Lawyer Chen continued to read the contents of the will.
The contents of the will were nothing more than some instructions.
Qin Yimo and Qin Lang listened very seriously, but the others were not so focused, each with their own thoughts and different expressions.
For them, the most important thing in the whole will is the selection of the head of the family.
Whoever becomes the head of the family can control all the current industries of the Qin family and become the leader of the family.
